There are companies attempting to recycle them into new batteries, such as Redwood Materials, but from what I know, recycled lithium is more expensive than fresh lithium today.

The problem with used EV batteries is that they've started to degrade, and they degrade in chaotic ways, so you can't offer a predictable product made from old cells. Some cells may have shorts internally, others may have evaporated some electrolyte, or the electrodes may have degraded. Right now, lithium recovery is quite primitive from used cells. I've tried to reuse used batteries myself for storage, and the unpredictable wear made me give up.

Also, EV batteries, which are optimized for power density, may not be the best choice for home storage, where you want the ability to deep cycle to buffer power usage as the NYT article describes. The NMC cells common in EV's don't like to sit at above 90% state of charge (this cutoff is arbitrary, but > 90% results in fast breakdown), and they don't like to go below 20%, so you have a useful range of 70% of the capacity. You can over-provision by 30% or you can use lithium-iron-phosphate cells, which are less power dense, but much more tolerant of deep cycling.

I set my home up like this a long time ago. I use 100% of my solar and export nothing to the CA grid due to batteries. It's not cost effective to do this given the cost of storage when I set this up, but it's really neat to someone of my nerdy predisposition. My goals originally were to have solar based backup power, because I lose power quite a lot despite living in silicon valley, and it's worked great for that too.
If anyone is near Cheyenne Wyoming or passing through on I-25, I highly enjoyed visiting Quebec-01 State Park. Former silo left intact where you can tour. I think you need a reservation:

I like this idea, it's even on my future roadmap: "Record browser interactions to save as ruby code"

Is there an example of a tool doing this well?
Of course! The difference is that, for the time being, my incentives are aligned with theirs in regards to preserving my privacy.

The future is always fungible. Anyone can break whatever trust they've built very quickly. But, like the post you are replying to, I have no qualms about supporting companies that are currently doing things in my interest and don't have any clear strategic incentive to violate that trust.

Edit: that same incentive structure would apply to NVIDIA, afaik

As answered below that's not what others have observed and more relevant is the capacity to evolve. A NEW mid-rise building and a NEW set of single family homes matching the number of apartment show that the mid-rise new building consume less in operational terms than the single family homes. Though it demand more raw materials to be built, and more infra around it to operate, and typically waterproofs the soil for a large area, killing soil humus, meaning consuming soil, while single family homes do not but the real difference arrive at the end of their useful life: rebuild single family homes it's a common task. Rebuild a mid-rise building it's another story. First of all you have to relocate not a single family for a little time but MANY families for a not so little time, secondly in most part of the world the building owner is not one, they are many and they have to agree rebuilt and how to do so, not counting the issue such large activity create in the surroundings. Long story short: multi story buildings tend to last in degrade for a long time, consuming than much more then newer homes. Homes can easily built in wood, well, it's not pure wood, but it's a self-renewing material in nature if we do not harvest too much. Bigger structures in wood can be made but they tend to be a nightmare. A tall building is not a set of piled containers that packed occupy less soil, it have to sustain it's own weight, have proper foundations, anti-seismic design, fire-safe design etc.

Long story short is like a train: formally is far cheaper than a plane, if you just observe a single fully-loaded trip. But you have to count all you need to build and maintain the train and the relevant infra, and here things start to change much, than you have to count the flexibility over time: a plane can go from any A to B in a certain distance range, a train need rails and build/change rails take an enormous amount of work.

Long story short again: yes FORMALLY under specific windows of observation the city is far more efficient, but in TCO terms is definitively not.
I own M1, A10X and A12X iPad Pros. I have yet to see any of them ever max out their processor or get slow. I have no idea why anyone would need an M4 one. Sure, it's because Apple no longer has M1s being fabbed at TSMC. But seriously, who would upgrade.

Put MacOS on iPad Pro, then it gets interesting. The most interesting thing my ipad pros do are look at security cameras or read ODB-II settings on my vehichle. Hell, they can't even maintain an SSH connection correctly. Rediculous.

I see Apple always show videos of people editing video on their iPad Pro. Who does that???

A 4 year old Chromebook is 3x as useful as a new iPad Pro.
I'm not going to claim that it's much better these days, but it's worth noting that the launch center in the link is quite old. The launch center have had multiple upgrades since then; the link here [0] shows some videos from inside a newer configuration, which does look a little bit more comfortable, and even that video is from the early 2000s. I would have to guess that more upgrades have been made since then.

Yeah, a bit of supervision at that age is appropriate, but my advice is don't screen their books for too long! If they're mature enough to be actively seeking out mature titles, you trying to gatekeep them isn't going to prevent them reading what they want to for long. Better to let them make their own choices and discuss sensitive topics with them as adults.

But you get access to a very large amount of RAM for that price.
I tried installing it on Windows 11 education N. Installation works fine. the app does not open no matter what I try.

Anyone else have the same issue?
CRAM and CIWS are for point-defence; it would be very expensive to cover e.g. 100 miles of international border using those systems. Because drones are steerable, they can fly between the gatling guns and on to their target. Of course, if the target has point-defence, that won't work!

In Ukraine, it seems that a lot of the defender's drones are hybrid surveillance and attack, so they don't know what their target is at launch. You can't point-defend a trenchline. I think the Russians are relying on jammers. Broadband jamming must require a lot of power (and presumably impairs their own comms); narrowband jamming requires knowledge of the attacker's frequency.

CRAM/CIWS generally consists of several weapons systems, and a command centre with the radar, communicating by radio. So those defensive systems are also exposed to jamming, which could be achieved by a high-altitude drone; these systems aren't designed to shoot things at 20,000 ft., although many of them can have a SAM system strapped on.

Anyway, I suspect that drone-antidrone warfare is going to come down to a radio arms-race; i.e. jammer vs. anti-jammer. And you can defeat a jammer using beamforming.
When they first installed this contraption next to us, they messed up the incline. It was too steep so one of longer trailer trucks promptly got stuck on it ultimately doing just that - stopping all traffic on the highway. It was glorious.

Also, the speed limit on these bypasses is 60 km/h, so they are halving the bandwidth and create massive congestions during peak hours. Probably the reason they stopped using them recently and just close the highway for few hours at night instead.
It probably depends. I know at a very senior level in a lot of companies, you can hit a base salary around half that for Staff/Principal positions and some Architect roles, especially in higher paying areas. The value of stock offerings and other compensation, bonuses etc will vary a lot though. You may grind out 5-10 years to reach that level, then 5 years to fully vest at half that pay to see a $1M stock payout at 5 years bringing the average to $400k. Who knows. Different arrangements work differently.

As an aside, when the market is relatively good, don't be afraid to straight up ask where compensation is on given roles when recruiters reach out, or to ask for more than you think you might get. You're pretty unlikely to get $400k or anywhere near it as a base... but you'd be surprised how reachable say $150k+ is as a base salary for a remote position when you aren't in SF or another major/expensive city.

> I think one way to do well in that interview, is to pretend you're the professor and they're a student, and you're working through course material.

If that's what they want, they should give out the questions in advance, and have the candidate prepare a slide deck. No professor conducts class by having students show up and fire random questions at them all semester.

More explicitly, if that's what they want, they should say that.

Agreed but please with something other than microSD cards. Yes, microSD Express is a thing, but both cards and hosts supporting it are rare, the size format doesn't exactly lend itself to durable flash chips, thermals are questionable, and even the most modern microSD Express cards barely hit 800 MB/sec speed, whereas Apple's stuff has hit twice or more that for years [2].

Perhaps the Yama cold brew tower CDM25 is the device you saw. It is used at many fine establishments including my kitchen, and I also have the smaller CDM8. The numbers 8 and 25 correspond to the number of cups of diluted 1:1 cold brew that it produces in a single cycle (6-12 hours).

Sounds a bit delusional to me that you can just "teach someone data structures in 1 hour".

Also the role specifics matter here. It might be ok to bring in a junior who needs lots of mentoring onboard. For a tech lead who is going to be driving the direction of a team, I'd expect them to be up to speed and autonomous very quickly.
OEM/stock ovens are certainly a sight to behold... but even scarier is when a crack-head tenant bypasses everything to make a crack-oven, full-broilers and all (always on some already-dangerous 3-prong circuit from the 40's). It's usually the next tenant whom discovers this...

--

The most dangerous item in most houses (from an insurance perspective) is an oil-filled radiating "space heater." Outside of overload (wattage) dangers, modern ones are typically sold with a 2-prong cord only... despite having a ground post inside the thermostat, to bond to outside metal frame.

On the first freeze and coldest days of each year, I expect to read about lots of house fires [unfortunately]. Please don't overload your circuits, folks!

Yes. However, applications have to be specifically written to use external storage, which requires popping open the same file picker you use to interact with non-Apple cloud storage. If they store data in their own container, then that can only ever go on the internal storage, iCloud, or device backups. You aren't allowed to rugpull an app and move its storage somewhere else.

I mean, what would happen if you yanked out the drive while an app was running on it?

Apple's started to roll out green energy charging to devices: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108068

If I had to ballpark estimate this, your iPad probably uses less energy per year than a strand of incandescent holiday lights does in a week. Maybe somebody can work out that math.

These technologies give privacy and anonymity under normal conditions, but they do not prevent anyone from logging ciphertexts. If someone has logged ciphertext, and the government subponies someone to divulge their private key and subponies whoever has the ciphertext, those ciphertexts as good as plain text.
Agreed, though there was a perfect target sitting right in the middle.

Not that I am blaming anyone, I think it was handled pretty well. It seems to me that people fail to realize it's only an easily balanced equation when looking at it historically and a shit show looking forward.

Depends on what you mean by Full. Here is Los Angeles the downtown core is completely built. You'd need to tear down existing structures and purchase the land to do so.
Agree completely. I think it's absurd that they talk about technical things like CPU and memory in these announcements. It seems to me like an admission that it's not really an "appliance" but trying to translate Apple marketing into logical/coherent concepts can be a frustrating experience. I just don't try anymore.
Don't attack me, I'm not disagreeing with you that an nVidia GPU is far superior at that price point.

I simply want to point out that these folks don't really care about that. They want a Mac for more reasons than "performance per watt/dollar" and if it's "good enough", they'll pay that Apple tax.

Yes, yes, I know, it's frustrating and they could get better Linux + GPU goodness with an nVidia PC running Ubuntu/Arch/Debian, but macOS is painless for the average science AI/ML training person to set up and work with. There are also known enterprise OS management solutions that business folks will happily sign off on.

Also, $7000 is chump change in the land of "can I get this AI/ML dev to just get to work on my GPT model I'm using to convince some VC's to give me $25-500 million?"

tldr; they're gonna buy a Mac cause it's a Mac and they want a Mac and their business uses Mac's. No amount of "but my nVidia GPU = better" is ever going to convince them otherwise as long as there is a "sort of" reasonable price point inside Apple's ecosystem.
Well of course one can even have whole floor for single family. It is a small matter of how much one can pay for the space of that size that need to be hashed out.
But VPNs are sold as the solution for when you are on an untrusted network, like at Starbucks.

Visual studio code running from remote servers seemed like it was making great progress right until the AI trendiness thing took over... and hasn't seemed to advance much since. Hopefully the AI thing cools down and the efforts on remote tooling/dev environments continues onwards.
It's funny how TikTok took Vine's short video concept and brought it to another level, meaning US was the original innovator not the Chinese. If Facebook or Google acquired Vine back in the day, TikTok wouldn't probably exist or maybe it would if Google would shut down Vine or if Zuck would screw up Vine. Now US has to deal with the fact that foreign entrepreneurs know also how to make viral apps but let's be honest China is not the one you would trust with your personal phone and your personal data.

The question doesn’t make sense. They don’t rerender the buffer every frame. I assume zed isn’t doing that either as it would be horribly inefficient.

I presume what is meant is that it can handle a redraw fast enough to be in the next frame. In which case the answer is: all of them. Drawing text is not the bottleneck for a GUI program, unless you have a god awful browser stack as your rendering engine.
most investment assets can be financially leveraged. IMO suburb home ownership provides more of an illusion of financial security and leverage than the real thing. being able to buy a house, condo, or apartment in an urban area is a much more significant marker of financial success than doing the same in a heavily subsidized development with limited economic productivity.

I prefer fiction in book format because the depth of characterization, thought processes, internal monologues, etc. allow me to connect with and understand the characters at a level that is impossible when watching an actor portraying that character on screen.

Personally I find the messages, lessons, principles, and insights come through a lot more clearly when I have access to the characters' internal thoughts, perceptions, and reasoning, and you get a lot more of this in the printed version.

1) 8GB ram is hardware limited, 2) $499 is a budget phone???

I'm very happy with my recently acquired Moto G Stylus 5G 2023. It's $250 and has 256GB flash (vs 128GB for the 2x as expensive Pixel 8A), has an SD slot so I can put in another 1TB of flash (2TB soon), has a headphone jack (I still prefer wired headphones), actually has decent battery life, and the battery (per ifixit) is not all that hard to replace though I would still much prefer a swappable one.

I don't think of $250 as a budget phone either. More like midrange. The budget version is the G Play 2024 which is $129 or $149 depending on Moto's whims.
